Kutler was the executive producer of
John King, USA, a television news show hosted by
John King that aired on
CNN from 2010 to 2012. In 2024, she was an executive producer of
The Sing Sing Chronicles, an American
documentary series. Kutler was the senior vice president for content strategy at MSNBC and became the interim president in January 2025 when
Rashida Jones resigned from the post of president. Under Kutler's tenure as president, MSNBC expanded its newsgathering operations ahead of its spin-off from NBCUniversal into Versant and cancelled multiple shows, including
The ReidOut,
Alex Wagner Tonight,
Inside with Jen Psaki,
Ayman,
The Katie Phang Show, and
The Saturday/Sunday Show. The resulting show cancellations produced lay-offs and invitations to reapply for new jobs internally, leading MSNBC anchor
Rachel Maddow to comment on-air with respect to the cancellations of shows anchored by predominantly people of color and the personnel reorganization. Kutler also launched an expanded version of
The Weekend on weekend mornings,
The Weekend Primetime on weekend evenings,
The Weeknight on weeknight slots, and
The Briefing with Jen Psaki. On August 18, 2025, MSNBC announced a rebrand to "MS NOW" (a
backronym of "My Source [for] News, Opinion, [and the] World") to remove the overt use of the NBC trademarks, name and
logo. Kutler wrote in a memo, "During this time of transition, NBCUniversal decided that our brand requires a new, separate identity. This decision now allows us to set our own course and assert our independence as we continue to build our own modern newsgathering operation." Since her appointment and as of August 2025, MSNBC remained the second most-watched cable news network, behind
Fox News and ahead of CNN, while viewership has decreased by -57% in total viewers and -71% in the key A24-54 demographic relative to the same month last year, August 2024. However, August 2024 saw significant developments in the
2024 United States presidential election. On September 10, 2025, MSNBC political analyst
Matthew Dowd was fired for appraising
Charlie Kirk on the day of his death as "one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions." Kutler issued an apology on behalf of MSNBC. ==Personal life==
